Oh mine stopped the moment I met the Missus, she'd kill me if I ever took another class A.
I'd love a fat line, or a decent E, even some Acid or shrooms.... just for a one off.... but that would be it. she'd be off with the kids!
She was never part of that scene, so she doesn't know.....
just...... how...... great....... those....... days...... were!!!!!!!!

That's why , yeah, I also thought it would be drugs with Keith.... that's how all the top frontmen go isn't it? Certainly more fun than the way he really did it.

Even if I could have a bit of Charlie, it would cost around £200 a gram..... yes that's correct Bro.... 200. AU and NZ have the highest prices in the world.
Anyway, back to the good stuff, the magical healing herb we all love so much! :grin::::

It's day 76, and they are 23 days into flowering.
This is how they look as a group...
day 76 group.JPG
...on the right is PAK1, with Des Frans looming over, behind her. PAK2 is on the back left (centre in pic).... you'd see more of her if it wasn't for that bloody great Gorilla in front.

Yes, that's right... the Gorilla has recovered from her illness and has stretched like a bastard.
She is just over 130cm from the top of the coco.....
day 76 Gorilla 1.JPG

From an upward angle, you can see those long, long stems...
day 76 Gorilla 2.JPG

Wouldn't it be lovely if that filled up with hard buds! I reckon only her top half will do the business, but let's see!
I have a funny feeling she'll need some cane support soon... I had to put one in just there to get the pic.

PAK1 was a slow starter, but she's budding up nicely...
day 76 PAK1 1.JPG

I thought I'd take her out for a bit...
day 76 PAK1 2.JPG

I'm looking forward to seeing some beautiful flowers on her as these next few weeks progress...
day 76 PAK1 3.JPG

Now with the Gorilla and PAK1 out of the tent, here's Des Frans (right) and PAK2 (left) at the back...
day 76 PAK2 & Des Frans.JPG

The other Purple Afghan Kush, PAK2 is just so big and full of fluffy bud sites...
day 76 PAK2 4.JPG

Here's a closer look...
day 76 PAK2 5.JPG

Des Frans is also a lofty Dame, also topping the 130cm mark, and is just centimetres from the lights.....
day 76 Des Frans 1.JPG

I'm hoping those long stems will be Donkey dicks by the end of all this!
day 76 Des Frans 2.JPG

You can see just how close she is to the lights!

At the moment the 4x Skyline 400s are on ratchet pulleys, and they are maxed out, so my last resort is to get some small carabiners and use those instead, giving me an extra 10 cm or so.... but it's gonna be tight.

I put those 2x Skyline 100's in this week, keeping them on each side at the back, and having full Skyline 400 coverage coming forwards.
Here's a view from the side window.... my eyes are fucked after taking this shot....
Skyline LEDs.JPG

I'm tempted to try and squeeze in the old Helios 2's in there alongside the Skyline 100's.... I dunno Ledbud, what do you think.....a couple of Skyline 200 mark2's might look nice in there instead! - ;)

Feed is at EC 1.1 pH 6.3 and they're getting House and Garden Cocos A&B, Roots Excellurator, Multizyme, Bud XL, Bud Candy and a touch of Nitrogen to support the stretch and give a framework for those big fat buds I'm after.

I'm still using rainwater, and we've got a week of thunderstorms, so it's gonna be nicely charged for my Girls in the final push to the finish. Plus there's been loads of Bats around, so all that shit on our roof will be well appreciated by them as well.

Thanks for looking in, have a stony old weekend!

I got all my knowledge from Ledbud, he's the MAN!

They say the best way to learn is from from other people's mistakes..... get yer notebook and pen, plus a spare pair of underpants, cos here's a lesson in supercropping!

OK Bro, so I stayed up last Saturday night to watch the idiots in Claret and Blue just manage to save face against the worst team in the Prem.... worth it for the 3 goal comeback... Come On You Irons!!!

After that I decided (at 4am) to supercrop the tallest stems.... I've been supercropping already back when they were in veg, but in bloom is another matter, so thanks again Ledbud for pushing me in the right direction.

I didn't do the PAKs as being 100% Indica, I reckon they will be a bit more height manageable.

I made sure they had a good drink, and waited an hour, then started with the Gorilla, and had a go at the best stem.

I think I have fucked this one, as it was very stiff, and snapped inside - and outside - when I bent her over, dammit......
day 77 Gorilla 4.JPG

I can only hope and pray whith that one.... and it was the best looking stem as well, doh! :roll:

I was much more careful with the next stem, these first two are the stems that grew when I topped her. I used some pliers to crimp the stem for about 2 inches then worked at it with my fingers before bending her over....
day 77 Gorilla 3.JPG

I did one more tall stem, and this is the final result with them all held in place.....
day 77 Gorilla 1.JPG

The 'broken' one is the big one in the middle, running left to right, with the 2nd stem behind it, and the 3rd in front centre, coming out towards you.

Another view of Gorilla...
day 77 Gorilla 2.JPG

Des Frans also needed 3 big stems to be supercropped.... I did one about 2 weeks ago, and she responded well.

Here's the first two stems ...
day 77 Des Frans 2.JPG


.... and the 3rd.....
day 77 Des Frans 3.JPG


.... and all together...
day 77 Des Frans 1.JPG

I imagine Gorilla will struggle a little bit after pretty much snapping off the best stem, but you never know!
I've heard it said, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"... well, this is the test!

Welcome back! It's day 83, 30 days into Bloom. 4 days after supercropping.

They are all doing well. There was NO wilting of leaves, and the next day, all the tops of the 6 supercropped stems were pointing up, and the side buds realigning to the light.

This is Gorilla.... the bad bend is looking mental....
day 83 Gorilla 5.JPG

Pretty ragged, eh! You can see the flowers of the other main stem behind.

Despite my heavy handedness, the rest of that stem looks really healthy.......
day 83 Gorilla 1.JPG

Here's a close up of the top...
day 83 Gorilla 4.JPG

The other main stem I supercropped looks good as well. Soft focus fluffy flowers...
day 83 Gorilla 2.JPG

Here's a view of Gorilla's canopy. The 3rd supercropped stem is on the bottom right.....
day 83 Gorilla 3.JPG

Des Frans is also responding well....
day 83 Des Frans 4.JPG

Here's a better view of two of the main stems....
day 83 Des Frans 1.JPG

The PAKs weren't touched, and they are looking blooming lovely for 30 days!

PAK1 first...
day 83 PAK1.JPG

... and PAK2...
day 83 PAK2.JPG


So, the supercropping, as you can see, went well... I have dealt with worse breakages than that, it was just a shock at the time, cos it was the best stem on her, and all the time I was saying to myself, "do one of the other stems", but once I got started, that was that.

Thanks for all the good karma, that's it for now.

Cheers Ledbud... they are on day 31 bloom so just into the 5th week.

The Gorilla is supposed to be 58-63 days... 9 weeks, and the Des Fran is a 10 week finish according to Dutch Passion, but the review below says longer.....
I reckon the Gorilla and Des Fran will take an extra week cos of the supercropping?

The PAK's I think will be done on time, DinaFem say they are 60 days, and they seem to be on track. .

I'm looking forward to the Des Fran, Autoberry (AutoLowRyder on AFN) reckons this is the Oaxaca pheno (as opposed to the longer finishing Meow Thai pheno), which is reviewed on seedfinder.eu...............

In Autoberry's own words....
the word insane is not used lightly !!!!!!!!!!!!! more than once yea !!!!!!!! 9.8/10 !!

Flowering Time Indoor: 77 - 97 days (~87 days)
Yield / Quantity Indoor: The crop of this strain is insane high and absolutely top yields.
General Impression Indoor: is all together insane strain - absolutely recommendable.
Strength / Lasting Effect: The weed insane strong and very long lasting.
Votings of our users: Destroyer gets 9.83 of 10 possible Points in the average!
